The Dresses Were Hung on the Clothes Rack with Care

The countdown begins! Seven days left until my first show. The August issue of Maine magazine is out and I have had the chance to take a peek at who I'll be showing my clothes along side of. I've never been part of a show before...I'm looking forward to showing my clothing in front of live people as opposed to strictly online!

As far as the production aspect is concerned, I am pretty much finished making everything that is coming with me next week. I have two convertible cowls left to finish and a sheer needs to be made to go with the brocade dress. Other than that I have a sampling of everything on my line sheet as well as a few random pieces that are one-of-a-kind.

Forms, tables, and paperwork! I have spent the last two mornings putting together my line sheet, style # sheet, order form, and sizing chart. Everything looks professional and I feel good about what I have on there. Let's hope something comes out of all that extra work!

I will be finishing some final details over the next week. I need to have my tickets and contest box ready for the brocade gown drawing. (Don't forget to buy your ticket to win that dress!) I also need to find a pair of shoes for cocktail hour.

All in all I am feeling confident in what I have made for the runway and what I will be showing at the trunk show.
